What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today?

[Tri-bar]

It had the room but sadly it still puked gear oil when it filled up at Button Willow. The breather filter was just above the axle housing the hose was coming off the side upper hole on the diff cover. I figured now the higher the better, oil might make it up the hose but I'm thinking it wont make it to the breather can as before.

@Tri-bar - Looks great. I need to relocate mine. How long is that stainless hose and where did you come into the trunk?

Thanks in advance.

I don't have the cortex setup but i used the FTB catch can setup and it's mounted in the trunk and then vents to the outside.

The hose is 5 ft and has a drip loop underneath, goes over the top then swings back around on the top from the driver side and connects on passenger right.I did it that way so there would be no bind in the hose. From the photo you can see where it drop down through the trunk floor. 3/4 hole with a grommet.

Installed Shelby/Fays billet alloy Watts link today. Much more difficult and fiddly install than I anticipated (lots assembling, adjusting, disassembling, readjusting, etc). Got to drive it for about an hour tonight and I am very pleased with it. You definitely can feel a difference, especially during hard cornering with bumps. Car is much more planted. Very minor increase in NVH, but most people wouldn't even notice the difference.

Installed the Maximum Motorsports CC plates today. Last week installed my F14's, 18x10, 285/40 Continental ExtremeContact Sports. Setting up an alignment appointment shortly.

Installed SRP pedals and my new Recaros today. Pics to follow later.

 

[Stig_v5.0]

Had the alignment done on the car with the new CC plates. Had it done by a friend of mine's father, they're both track rats and the father has a shop local to me. He set the alignment with weight in the driver's seat. The car drives excellent on the road so far.

Caster set to 7.5
Camber is at -1.5
Total toe is zero.

Changed fluids this weekend for my first track event next month.
Changed brands on all 3 this year. (had been running Motorcraft diff, Redline trans and ATE brake--pushed out the last of my Superblue)
Diff fluid -- Miller Oils 75W-140 http://performanceracingoils.com/crx-75w140-nt/
Tranny -- Amsoil Syncromesh
Brake fluid -- Motul 600

I think that's a better location for it. The diff area doesn't have much room.

I had the guys at Kohr move mine to behind the fender liner as my filter was melting and damaged under the car on the cortex watts spot.

 

[TymeSlayer]

@Starjammir - you have any pictures on the new location?

 

[drano38]

Installed a rear diff breather can in the trunk.
See this tread for details and pics.
Looks great thanks to all the pioneers who have done similar installs.

Annual oil change on the Boss:

Got to stretch her legs a little in Rosamond:

Changed oil on the GT the other day and installed the GT/CS lower valence fog lights after having removed the factory upper grille mounted fog lights. GT500 style upper and lower grilles coming this week as well.

I need to do this.
13/14?
Interested in a parts list if you are happy with your product selection.

Yes mine is a 2014. The parts selection is easy. It's a Ford kit.
Google part number DR3Z15200AA.

Now that all being said, this kit comes with instructions and wiring harness extensions to replace the factory GT grille mounted fog lamps and use their original circuit. I know the boss doesn't have fog lights but I can't speak to if it actually still has the wiring existing in its harness or not for them.

Other than that, it was pretty easy install. Also did LED lights to help the color temperature match the HIDs, as the kit comes with halogens in the projectors.

Excellent, thanks for that. I am lowly GT so it's perfect.
Feedback on the grills you selected when appropriate, I see a lot of noise on the forums on them and appreciate the answers here much more.
Thanks Again

Changed out a bad starter on the BOSS today. Less than a year and only 7 track events and evidently the heat from the kooks long tubes did a number on it. Headers are coated and had the starter wrapped with some heat reflective material. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come. While I was under the car also noticed that one of my caliper guide pins, (holds the pads in-place) had also backed out about an inch. I am very meticulous when I change pads to ensure I fully seat the pins, maybe I just missed the mark on the last install. Anyhow, to be on the safe side, ordering a kit with 2 pins and the clip p/n 7R3Z2B164A. Finish up the track prep tomorrow then heading to VIR on Friday for Hyper fest this weekend.

 

[TMSBOSS]

The pins will wear with heat and time. Replacing annually is not a bad idea.

GT500 grilles today... because I can't afford a real 500. This my BC500, BootlegCobra Hahahaha
